Evidence couldn’t make the video shoot, but no matter…MomTigallo held it down like a star. Another win for Tay and the FE Music homies.
After dropping videos for almost every track off his excellent Layover EP, Ev is back with what I believe is the final clip for the project. As expected, this one doesn’t disappoint either. When has Decon ever steered you wrong on the visuals (or anywhere else for that matter)?
Like I mentioned a while back, I got a chance to catch up with the homies Evidence (of Dilated Peoples) and Alchemist when they came to Seattle at the start of the month for the “Still High” tour with Red & Meth. We’ve had both dudes on Sound Session a few times before, but this was the first occasion where they came through together. Every time I chop it up with Ev and Al, they’re cool as hell.
This time around, we talked all about their current projects, including Evidence’s Layover EP, Alchemist’s Alchemist Cookbook (which drops online today!), Al’s Gang Green album with Oh No, and their Stepbrothers group effort. They also touched on how new media has affected their careers, the recent West Coast resurgence, who they list as dream collaborations, and much more. Peep that:

Go grab Al’s Alchemist Cookbook at your favorite digital retailer and be sure to cop The Layover EP a week from today. If you’ve been staying up to date on the videos so far, you know it’s crazy…
Damn, I like everything about this video:
Be on the lookout for Fashawn’s debut album, Boy Meets World, in spring of next year. “Our Way” is the first peek off the project and judging by the quality here and on Fashawn’s One Shot, One Kill mixtape, you already know it’s gonna be fresh.
Cali’s on fire right now, but they also completely dropped the ball on the Prop. 8 ballot initiative banning gay marriage this past week. With statistics showing that nearly 70% of black and hispanic voters supported the ban, it’s incredibly disheartening to see people vote for equality and discrimination in one fell swoop. Hip-hop helped Obama win California (as if he needed any assistance), and then helped propagate homophobia and hatred. Fail.
(had to embed the high quality version…those visuals are too crisp + I’m a sucker for the fish eye lens)
That might be the longest post title I’ve had. Anyway, we’ve been playing this track on Sound Session recently and now the mighty Decon Media crew has come through with a video for it. If you know anything about Decon, you know that nobody’s touching their multimedia work right now. Seriously, top notch. This clip is comprised of footage taken from the FRV tour (remember when I interviewed 88 Keys?) and it’ll be on a DVD/EP they’re dropping on the 14th. Cop that!
